Before it was dark, several city gates in Qingle County had been slammed shut. On the outer city wall surrounding the county seat, the soldiers of the Japanese army and the Imperial Alliance Army who were loaded with guns also began their daily routine patrols.

Since the attack on the granary outside the city, the Japanese soldiers stationed in Qingle County have been under the orders of the semi-guards in front of the island, which has greatly increased the intensity and density of patrols. After the frustration of the night attack on Wangjiagou by the semi-guards in front of the island, the Japanese soldiers paid more attention to the defense of the city to an outrageous degree - almost every ten minutes, two patrols composed of Japanese soldiers and soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army would stagger through the roads in the city.

On the outer city wall and the inner city wall, the patrol mode of each section between the four gates of the city has also been changed to the mode of staggered patrol around the city wall. In addition, every 50 meters on the city wall, a bonfire will be lit all night long, illuminating the inner and outer walls of more than 10 meters, making people almost empty!

Shouting and urging several soldiers of the Imperial Association Army to carry firewood and pile it on the city wall, two Japanese soldiers who had just had dinner after closing the city gate burped contentedly and took out their cigarettes and lit them, leaning against a corner behind the city wall that could be sheltered from the wind and chatting: "Today's meal is really good!" There wasn't much meat or fish, but the soup made from the mushrooms reminded me of the taste of home......

"That's true! Hizen and Miki usually look silly, but this time they did a beautiful errand! I heard that His Excellency Shimamae was also satisfied with today's meal, and praised the guys in the room! ”

"Not only did the guys in the gang get compliments, but Juncao also praised Hizen and Miki, and arranged for the two of them to patrol the first batch tonight!"

"It's still a chore, but after the first patrols, you can go back and get a good night's sleep, better than getting out of the warm room in the middle of the night...... Hey, Hizen, Miki, you two lucky guys, are you ready for the patrol? ”

Obviously, they had just had dinner, and Hizen and Miki slowly climbed the stone steps next to the city gate to the city wall, and smiled at the Japanese soldiers who were already standing on the city wall to supervise the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army carrying firewood: "You guys, after you have eaten and drunk enough, are you so lazy?" If I had known that was the case, those delicious mushrooms really shouldn't have been cheap! ”

Disapplaudedly, he pointed his finger at the Imperial Cooperative Army soldier who was busy carrying firewood, and a Japanese soldier who was smoking in a sheltered place smiled and replied casually: "Aren't those stupid people working?" This kind of rough work like this is not what imperial samurai should do......"

He casually looked at the pyres that were about to be erected, and then at the firewood that had been piled up and stockpiled up around the campfire, and before snatching the fat of those dried mushrooms at the city gate during the day, he loosened his belt that was a little tight, and said to Miki who was following him with a smile: "I really hope that something like this will happen tomorrow - if we can get some delicious food every time we are on duty at the city gate, then our time here may not be too sad......"

With Miki nodding in agreement, the whistle of the Japanese soldier Cao on duty was already heard under the city gate. After waiting for three short whistles, Cao Na, a soldier on duty, also came from under the city gate with a somewhat rough voice: "Patrol begins!" You lazy fellows, who have just enjoyed such delicious food, can't you cheer up a little? Hurry up, bastard! ”

After a few puffs of cigarette butts, several Japanese soldiers squeezed each other's eyes, hung the 38 big cover leaning on their shoulders, turned their faces and shouted at the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who were rushing to the city wall: "Stupid! Hurry up......"

Amid the shouting and scolding of the Japanese soldiers, the eight soldiers of the Imperial Association who rushed up the city wall were divided into two teams, each following behind the two Japanese soldiers, and began a reverse patrol starting from the city gate. At the other three gates, the same patrols were launched......

It was not completely dark, but the cold wind had already begun to wreak havoc. Especially walking on the unobstructed city wall, it was only a minute or two before leaving the city gate building, and the fat front who walked in front of him was already frozen and involuntarily shrunk his neck.

Stretching out his hand to put up his collar to block the wind, Hizen couldn't help but muttered to Miki, who was walking behind him, and said, "This damn weather...... It's almost as cold as Hokkaido! But even in our hometown of Hokkaido, we don't need to stay outside on such a cold night, do we? ”

also stretched out his hand to raise his collar to block the wind, and Miki echoed Hizen's words with affection: "That's true! On such a cold night, if you can eat a bowl of hot ramen in the house, drink some alcohol, and then get into the bed that is warmed by the woman.......

Before he finished speaking, Miki, who was slightly shorter, frowned suddenly: "What's going on?" ”

Looking back at Miki's frowning appearance in surprise, the fat front with a pinch of Rendan's beard exclaimed in surprise: "Miki, what's wrong with you?" It doesn't matter, right? ”

Frowning, Miki, who had already stopped, shook his head suspiciously: "I don't know how it happened, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach......"

opened his mouth, but before he could answer, he felt a faint cramping sensation in his lower abdomen: "Is it because I ate too much?" While it's not far from the city gate, let's go to the toilet quickly...... I'll keep these idiots on patrol, and you'll be able to catch up in a moment! ”

Hurriedly bowing to Hizen, Miki hurriedly shouted, "Thank you very much, then please!" ”

Watching Miki turn his head and run wildly in the direction of the city gate building, Hizen was about to open his mouth to shout at the puppet-like soldiers of the Imperial Association Army to continue patrolling, but the colic pain from his lower abdomen became more and more obvious. Just gritted his teeth and endured it for a moment, Hizen couldn't help but shout and chased after Miki: "Wait a minute! I also...... Went to the toilet ......"

Inexplicably, they watched the two Japanese soldiers who led the team running towards the city gate building with their stomachs covered, and several soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who followed the patrol behind the Japanese soldiers suddenly looked at each other and muttered: "What's going on?" ”

"Forgot to bring the house to patrol the city? You can't run in such a hurry, can you? ”

"Why do you care about all that stuff? When a soldier eats food, he talks a lot to invite disaster! ”

"But we're just standing here stupidly? Or do you want to patrol the city? ”

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

"And is this fire still lit?"

“...... Click on it! In this very cold weather, standing stupidly on the city wall waiting for those two Japanese, and there is no fire to warm up the body and bones, but it is really a living sin......"

Gathered in a circle, several soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army had just lit the bonfire closest to the city gate, and there was already a rough shouting and scolding from behind them: "Stupid! Lazy guy...... Is it just a moment's work, and you are so afraid of the cold? ”

Kicking and beating several Imperial Army soldiers who had just lit the bonfire drove them to their feet, and before Hizen could speak again, the strange colic sensation in his lower abdomen hit him fiercely again. Holding his stomach involuntarily, Hizen turned around and ran towards the city gate again. On the fat front side, Miki, who was also holding his stomach, couldn't support it for long, and he also followed the footsteps before and after the fat.......

Coincidentally, the same scene emerged one after another in the four city gates around Qingle County. In other places where the Japanese army was stationed, the Japanese soldiers who ran towards the toilet with their stomachs in their arms also formed a unique scenery.

Like the other Japanese soldiers, it had only been a moment after dinner when the guards in front of the island felt a pain in their abdomen. After running to the toilet several times in a row, the half-guards in front of the island looked at the more and more Japanese soldiers bending and trotting towards the toilet outside the bedroom window, and finally noticed that something was wrong.

Holding back the increasingly strong colic pain in his lower abdomen, the half-guard in front of the island pushed open the bedroom window with one palm, and shouted into the courtyard: "Health soldier! Where are the health soldiers? ”

Holding his stomach with his hands, a Japanese soldier staggered into the front half of the island's guard: "In!" ”

Ignoring the fact that the health soldier didn't stand up and salute himself as he usually does, the half-guards in front of the island shouted roughly: "Why is there such a chaotic scene? Is there anything unclean about today's diet? Why do people .......?"

Despite his efforts, the colic pain in his lower abdomen made the half-guards in front of the island involuntarily bend down holding their stomachs, and even their voices trembled a little: "Why don't you go and find out the cause and bring the medicine for treatment?!" ”

The Japanese soldier standing in front of the window of the half-guard in front of the island almost groaned and shook his head: "I'm afraid it's caused by food poisoning....... Your Excellency, I am afraid that the existing drugs cannot cure this phenomenon, and it is necessary to have a special military doctor to be accurate....... I'm sorry, Sir. ”

I really couldn't stand the growing cramping pain in my lower abdomen, and the Japanese health soldier didn't care to answer the questions of the half-guards in front of the island, and ran towards the toilet with his stomach in his hands. Before he could rush out three or five steps away, a stain had already faintly appeared on the crotch of the Japanese health soldier's pants, and a foul smell was rushing towards the nose of the half-guard in front of the island......

Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the sanitary soldier outside the window, and then looking at the Japanese soldier in the courtyard of the station, who couldn't wait to go to the toilet and could only squat down with his pants at the base of the wall, the front half of the island guards with abdominal pain had no time to say anything, but a violent gunfire suddenly came from the distance......
